Surrender to the Night
Embracing Freedom: Surrendering to the Night
Lyrics
County road
Starting the journey on a county road.
In my rearview
Glimpsing the past through the rearview mirror.
Driving all night long
Driving throughout the night.
Running away
Escaping or running away from something.
With my wedding dress still on
Wearing a wedding dress while on the journey.
And the veil just hanging out in the wind
The veil of the wedding dress blowing in the wind.
A string of tin cans lay behind
Trail of tin cans, possibly symbolizing a wedding tradition.
They follow like a memory
Memories following, possibly suggesting emotional baggage.
And I only surrender to the night
Choosing to embrace the night and its mysteries.
Only surrender to the night
Reiterating the willingness to surrender to the night.
Follow in the glow of a neon sign
Guided by the light of a neon sign.
I'm giving up on being in love
Deciding to give up on the pursuit of romantic love.
So I'm leaving you behind
Leaving a significant other behind.
I only surrender to the night
Embracing the night as a solitary choice.
Well, I don't know
Uncertain about the destination.
My destination
Driven by the desire for fame or recognition.
But I'm headed for my name up in the lights
Trading a diamond ring for essentials on the road.
Traded my diamond ring
Symbolizing commitment to a nomadic lifestyle.
For gas and a pack of smokes
Relinquishing the idea of marriage for freedom.
I guess I'm married to the wide-open road
Unable to commit due to inner reservations.
I couldn't tie the knot quite yet
Expressing doubts about a conventional commitment.
Something just wasn't right
Choosing to surrender only to the night.
Now I only surrender to the night
Reaffirming the decision to embrace the mysteries of the night.
Only surrender to the night
Repeating the commitment to surrender to the night.
Follow in the glow of a neon sign
Continuing the journey guided by the glow of a neon sign.
I'm giving up on being in love
Renouncing the pursuit of romantic love.
So I'm leaving you behind
Leaving a romantic relationship in the past.
I only surrender to the night
Restating the commitment to the solitary path of the night.
Only surrender to the night
Reiterating the choice to surrender exclusively to the night.
Follow in the glow of a neon sign
Following the path illuminated by a neon sign.
I'm giving up on being in love
Abandoning the pursuit of love.
So I'm leaving you behind
Moving on from a romantic relationship.
I only surrender to the night
Embracing the night as the only surrender.
I only surrender to the night
Reaffirming the commitment to surrender solely to the night.
And I only surrender to the night
Finalizing the dedication to surrender to the mysteries of the night.
